Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over three months. Around 2 PM today, I felt like I wanted to vomit, but nothing came out. By 7 PM, I had vomited quite a bit and kept going to the bathroom to have diarrhea. The village doctor said my friend might have gastroenteritis and gave her a pack of lactobacillus tablets and prescribed several packs of montmorillonite powder. Can I take the medicine? What medicine should I eat?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is acute gastroenteritis, which may be caused by exposure to cold or consuming spoiled or moldy food. Frequent nausea and vomiting may lead to uterine contractions, potentially causing a miscarriage. It is recommended to take Montmorillonite powder and Amoxicillin orally for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, you should go to a local hospital or medical institution for intravenous treatment. Avoid spicy, extremely cold, and greasy foods, drink more water, and have some egg noodle soup or rice porridge.
